What does the word reprobate mean? Well the Bible defines it for us in Jeremiah chapter number 6 and verse 30 Jeremiah 6 30 says this reprobate silver Shall men call them Now here the the prophet Jeremiah is talking about the fact That there are people that are going to be called reprobates or reprobate silver and the idea of course when we talk about Metals and and silver and gold gold would be have to once it's brought out of the ground it would have to be refined you would mine it then you'd refine it and Refining is a process of purging where you would boil it and have all the impurities boil up to the top and those And those impurities would be removed in order to make the silver pure and Jeremiah is talking about the fact that when they would take Something like silver and they would refine it they would heat it up so that all the impurities would come up to the top that Draws at the top they would they would remove that and they would call that Reprobate silver it came from the silver, but it was trash. It was reprobate It was something they did not want that's what Jeremiah is referring to he says there are people like that He says reprobate silver shall men call them you say why would anybody look at somebody and say that's a reprobate Or that's reprobate silver. Here's why because the Lord hath rejected them I Guess they can tired of these feet with these Christian organizations We're not giving up on anybody no matter how you how bad you are no matter how wicked you are We're not giving up on you. Let me tell you something. I'm all for love. I'm all for patience. I'm all for forgiveness I'm all for all those things, but when you're forgiving more than God forgives you're forgiving too much I Mean when you love when you love so much that you out love God the Bible says God is love and if God gave them Up there's nothing you can do about it friend Reprobate silver shall men call them Here's why because the Lord has rejected them when the Lord has rejected you when the Lord has rejected someone There's nothing anyone can do for them Because the Lord has rejected them go to 1st Timothy chapter 4 1st Timothy chapter 4 if you can find the t-books that are all clustered together 1st 2nd Thessalonians 1st 2nd Timothy Titus 1st Timothy chapter 4 See the Bible says that they've been given over to a reprobate mind What does that mean exactly what it means is that their conscience? Because remember God revealed himself through creation and conscience Creation reveals God Psalm 19 tells us that the heavens declare the glory of God That that the heaven and nature itself declares to us the amazement of God He reveals himself through nature and he reveals himself through conscious You know even unsaved people even unsaved people would say you don't do that to a child You don't hurt a child that way You say why would I say people person do that because they might not be saved But they still got a conscience God gave him a conscience You say well, why would these people do it? First Timothy chapter 4 look at verse 1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly That in the latter times by the way, we're living in the latter times according the Bible Some shall depart from the faith Giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils speaking lies and hypocrisy. I want you to notice these words having their conscience seared with a hot iron The Bible says that there are people who can have their conscience seared This is what the Bible refers to when it calls when it says that God gave them over to a reprobate mind To do those things which are not convenient. You know what it means to see or something This is often something that's done if somebody would maybe have a wound that it's bleeding and and and and they might die It's bringing so much you might take a hot iron and you would place it over that and and their their wound in order to burn That skin together to make it callous to make it hardened so that you can't feel it When when something is seared it's it's burned so that there's no longer feeling there The Bible says that their conscience is seared Their conscience is callous. It's unfeeling. It's hardened. It's seared with a hot iron Their conscience is seared. This is what it means when the Bible says that they were given over to a rejected or reprobate mind go to Titus chapter number one Titus chapter one and we can go into a lot more detail about the mind and all that we got a documentary called psychopath Reprobates, I think it's out there. It's on YouTube somewhere And you can find it and and and we went through all that Information even even medically Titus 1 and verse 15 says this unto the pure all things are pure But unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure notice these words, but even their mind and Conscience is defiled Their conscience is defiled Your conscience is supposed to be the moral aspect of you God put it in you to tell you no don't do that That's wrong even when we sit against our own conscience and do that which our conscience tells us not to do we feel guilt and shame for having done it These people their conscience itself is defiled It's like having a conscience saying yes steal from that person. Yeah kill that person. Yeah rape that person. Yeah Take advantage of that child Their conscience their mind is defiled Their conscience their mind or their conscience is defiled Verse 16 they profess that they know God but in works They deny him being abominable and disobedient and unto every good work. Here's our word reprobate No matter how good they are they're reprobates You say why because they have a depraved mind their conscience has been seared They've been given over to a reprobate mind This is the only way that they can do these unnatural sins because normal people can't perform these unnatural sins period
